The United States believes it is now closer to ending the conflict in Ukraine than it was before.
This was stated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to the official’s interview with Fox News.
According to Rubio, everyone wants the war to end, but the conditions under which it would end are always the difficult part.
He noted that while today had been a good day, much work still lay ahead. He added that although he did not want to exaggerate, the US was definitely closer to peace than it had been the day before, when there had been no proximity to peace at all.
